Goodal Cheonggyul Vitamin C Toning Cleansing Balm

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-04

What is this product?

Goodal's Cheonggyul Vitamin C Toning Cleansing Balm takes off makeup and sunscreen because it is an oil balm, not because of the fruit and the vitamin C on the front: Goodal prints 탄제린추출물 at 0.00029ppm, 아스코빅애씨드 at 0.01ppm and 아스코빌글루코사이드 at 0.001ppm, several orders of magnitude under any working dose. What actually matters before you buy this 110ml jar is the scent, because four named aromatic oils and a declared terpene marker sit on its 40-item list together with a small acid group whose amounts are not given (glycolic, lactic, salicylic and capryloyl salicylic), and Goodal publishes no pH either.

What makes it different?

Two things separate it from the rest of the cleansing-balm shelf, and both come out of unusual openness. Goodal publishes exact figures for the two ingredients its marketing is built on, which is why the trace levels above can be stated rather than guessed at. Its own regulatory block also says it passed no functional-cosmetic review, which contradicts the whitening tag a price comparison listing attaches to it, so a shopper reading that listing is being told something the product itself denies.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary.

Key ingredientWorth a closer look

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Grandis Peel Oil, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Trihydroxystearin, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Salicylic Acid

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 6 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.
